[Verse 1]

In 1991

The man wanted a son

But that was not to be

There were no roots on the family tree



The couple tried it all

And rather short they would fall

To launch a pregnancy

They even tried artificially



[Chorus]

10, 000 miles

Across the ocean

In a culture wild

In Romania

10, 000 miles

A son and daughter

Found a loving passage

To America



! 00, 000 orphans

In a wasteland
